It's been a month and a half since Beef and Ray pulled up to the gates of the Fight.

In fact I was just looking for something in the archives and noted that this story arc began on January 11 with Todd's cell phone nutsack idea.   So it's been the better part of three months.  Of this whole year.

Unlike everyone else, Barry looks completely uninjured. I could see him carefully avoiding the fray and surreptitiously hitching a ride on the crane bucket when the last of his mates was picked up.

Damn T looks haggard.  I'll be he's hit refresh like 20,000 times in 3 days.

Kinda like the end of Return of the Jedi.

[Bobby Isosceles]

I'm actually kinda dissapointed because there was no standoff v. rodney.  I would've liked to have seen that go down.

Who says Rodney won't be there to meet them upon their return?
Or harass them on the road?
OR IS HANGING OFF THE BACK OF THE MOTORCYCLE?
Besides, fuck old people, even if they were cool once they're irrelevant NOW. (Hi Wombat!)

The best line was Phillipe's "Good!"

[Bobby Isosceles]

Before I comment on this strip, I'd just like to say:  Good work Onstad.  During this 5-business-day week, you've produced 5 strips, one per day, and published them at a consistent time.  This is excellent.  I worry, however, that you might be setting an unreasonable precedent.  Maybe you should slow down a little, before we come to expect this of you always.

Probably, Chris Onstad wasn't working 5 days a week was due to a confluence of several factors:
- lack of a truly inspiring storyline
- lack of an overarching storyline in general
- having to come up with the story on the fly
- having a very young baby

The first three are an artist's dread. It means taking Tuesday off to play with silly putty and come up with ideas.

Although this is a great strip and an excellent climax to the Fight, I have to say...

..there is a truly upsetting amount of cat bonch on display in panel three.

Eh, most of that ain't nothin but stuffin.

Is you prude, boy!?

You've not had his life.

Chris Onstad, bravely forging new and exciting ways of getting dudes to look at cat bonch on the internet.  God Bless You Sir.

The facial expressions, people. The facial expressions.

The vertical alignment of the reaction panels -- first, SoRod's posse cheering the victors on, then the Achewood posse in response to Gasps and Giggles -- is delightful. And I can't even pick a favorite moment here -- "WOOT!" and "Good!" are about tied, although Vlad's expression is also extremely priceless.

Delightful.

[Hobot]

"...count your daughters!" is at the top of my list of favourite moments.

The only thing I don't understand is Philippe's "Good!"  It seems a little out of place.  I assume Teodor read the blog aloud?  Maybe Philippe is just happy that Ray and Mr Roasted Beef are okay.  (In my mind Lyle turns around and belts him "Shaddap you!")

You just don't like Philippe.

Yes, this whole arc has been some new art terrain for Mr. Onstad.  Very well done.

[Ben-San]

So now they're just on a blood-thirsty rampage?

No, I'm pretty sure that's just Barry's interpretation of events. With the fight behind them, the only rampage Ray's going on is the focused massacre of a squadron of beers and three and a half pounds of sauerkraut.

Also, The Latino Health Crisis' pose + expression wins it for me.

[Drygioni]

While there was no obvious punchline, visual gag or so forth, it made me chuckle. And that is what Achewood is all about.

I wasn't expecting a strip today due to the strenuous (at least by his standards) schedule Onstad has been running here, but like a tiny angel it appeared anyhow. Thanks Mr Onstad!

However, Leander's woot seemed completely.. wrong somehow. I guess I'll never accept the fact he can, indeed, speak.
